THINKING FROM THE QUR’ANIC PERSPECTIVE

FOREWORD
God sent his messengers for guidance, and to create love and brotherhood among the people but unfortunately the history of religion is full of bigotry and hatred. The messengers were always the victims of violence. From Adam to this time, all the prophets without any exception, passed through the same channel of hatred and persecution. How nicely the Holy Quran has described this fact in the following verse: Alas for my servants! There comes not a Messenger to them but they mock at...

The role of woman, her position and status in society, and her nature have been issues of debate and discussion informed by religion, tradition and culture, misogyny, feminism and - many times - downright ignorance and bigotry.
In discussing the role of women in contemporary society there are three main areas that can be addressed. The perceptions of woman within contemporary Muslim societies. The status, position and role of woman in the Qur'an and in early Islam
from where we derive our...

In one sense, equality between men and women is possible and reasonable as well because they are both human, with similar souls, brains, hearts, and the most of the rest of the body. In another sense, equality between men and women is impossible and an absurdity due to their natural differences in physical, mental, emotional and psychological qualities, and abilities. However, Islam tries not to differentiate the rights of women from the rights of men. In many instances Islam treats women as...

Most of us know about Jesus Christ and his life. Therefore, I will briefly cover Jesus in this paper. As for Muhammad, I will attempt to shed some light on the subject of this "Messenger of God". Perhaps a better understanding of this Islamic icon can be obtained and understood through this comparative essay. Both of these religious figures caused a renewal of faith and belief in the one and only God, or Allah as the Muslims know Him by.

Is Islam a Violent Religion by Nature?
Islam and the worship of Allah (god) began with Muhammad and his revelations that lasted for 23 years of his life from (610 C.E.- 623 C.E.). In the Islamic religion it is believed that he was the last prophet sent by Allah (god) and this made all his teachings into to Law and are looked at as the will of God. These messages were given to him through the archangel Gabriel, in a kind of continuation to the Jewish Torah and Christian Bible, which the...

Nowadays, Islamic accounting is greatly discussed between the academician and professional personnel that have already did some research about the differences between conventional and Islamic accounting.

ISLAMIC LEADERSHIP : A SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP PARADIGM
ABSTRACT
Leadership has been an object studied by many scholars for centuries, and brings a lot of theories forth in term of leadership. Leadership is a multidisciplinary field concerned with both ethics and morality. Davis, K. (1967) defined Leadership asthe ability to persuade others to seek defined objectives enthusiastically. It is the human factor which binds a group together and motivates it toward goals. Management activities such as...

One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word Zakat means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
Zakat is the amount of money that every adult, mentally stable, free, and financially able Muslim, male and female, has to pay to support...

The Battle of Tabuk
The lofty and strong fort, which had been built by the side of a spring on the road leading from Hijr to Damascus in the border area of the territory of Syria, was called Tabuk. In those times Syria was one of the colonies of the Eastern Roman Empire. Its capital was Constantinople. Its frontier people were the followers of Christianity and the chiefs of the districts were satellites of the Ruler of Syria who himself took orders directly from the Roman Emperor.
The rapid...

Modern day poverty-
While the world continues to progress technologically, faster than it’s growth in technology, it’s retrogressing morally and spiritually. While life seems to become easier theoretically, in theory, when you analyse life today, we have such advanced modes of transport, such easy ways of communication, in theory life seems easier than previous times, but practically life has become more challenging than the previous times. Tension, depression and frustration has become the...

Light Sura
The Sura I have chosen to analyse for my assignment is the ‘Light Sura’. The reason I chose this Sura is that it deals with many social issues that are still very evident in Islamic life today. It gives a very detailed view of what God expected of its followers throughout the Sura and what punishment would be handed to them if they did something unwilling to Gods orders.
Throughout the Sura a strong message is sent to the believers of Islam. A woman is used as an example of...

The Twentieth century of the Christian era, according to our analysis, presents a decisive turning point in the history of the Muslim Ummah (community). At the end of the first quarter of the century the state of the Muslim world had taken a definite turn, and there were some signs of resuscitation in the moribund body of the Muslim Urnmah.
If we look at it closely, the middle half of this century presents an astounding picture. On one hand, the process of decline and deterioration reached...

﻿Difference between Zakat and Tax
First I would like to say that Zakat is related to religion and tax is related to government. In no way Zakat and tax can go together; they are different in many respects. While zakat has a religious sanctity, tax is not like that.
Tax is collected from all citizens of a country. The government collects tax for the overall development of the country; On the other hand, Zakat is only imposed on Muslims.
Zakat is fixed as per the Holy Quran and cannot be changed...

Historical viewpoint
Unanimous faith of every Muslim on One Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad PBUH) as last prophet, Holy Quran and Sunnah/Hadith of Prophet became a binding force bringing together people of different region as one Ummah. However, anti-Islamic force couldn’t swallow this growing religion and unity among them considering it as major threat towards their ideologies and religions. Muslim history is replete with glory and down fall, having difference as a healthy and...
